EGGS-actly What You Need To Build Muscle!

How many of you bodybuilders out there enjoy your eggs? Learn why eggs are so important to your diet and how it can help you build muscle!

How many of you body builders out there enjoy your eggs? Good, as a matter of fact that's great, keep it up and continue to read on because you may very well be on the road to increasing your egg intake and thus increasing your muscle mass. But what about all you muscle heads out there that are neglecting eggs because of the taste or simple because you're lazy and couldn't be bothered cooking, so you ultimately opt for a tasty whey shake instead. Well after reading this article, I'm confident that eggs will be the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the morning.

An egg is one of the most complete and versatile foods available. It has a valuable role in providing a healthy diet for all and especially bodybuilders. We all know the importance of protein in the muscle-building process, without protein, your muscles will simply not grow.

Excluding water protein, it is the next most abundant element that makes up the majority of our bodies, so with all this protein in the body, wouldn't you say that protein should be a very important part of anyone's diet? Bodybuilders need to take this a little further by damaging those protein fibers with heavy weight training in order for the protein fibers to regrow stronger and bigger. A bodybuilder's diet must be much higher in protein than the average persons.

Eggs contain about 6 grams of high quality protein, so high that it is used as the standard by which other foods are measured. Eggs are also a rich source of vitamins, including A, E and K and a range of B vitamins such as B12 (energy), riboflavin and folic acid. Eggs also contain all eight essential amino acids needed for optimal muscle recovery and building valuable minerals like calcium, zinc and iron.

Now before you get scared and say what about the fat that eggs contain, let me break it down for you. The white part of the egg contains no fat what so ever, on the other hand, the yolk of an egg (yellow) contains about 5 grams of fat BUT only a small proportion of this is saturated fat (Bad Fat) - about 1.6 grams. Bodybuilders seeking to bulk up muscle are in particular need for fat in foods at a time when they have high-energy requirements for growth but limited appetites. Eggs contain cholesterol but it is generally accepted that dietary cholesterol does not raise blood cholesterol levels. Eggs are easily digested and absorbed and are extremely useful in ensuring a balanced diet for us bodybuilders.

The Many Ways To Cook Your Eggs

Personally I always cook my eggs for better absorption by the human body and to avoid the risk of getting sick through salmonella. I usually just put all my eggs in a microwave safe bowl, chuck them in the microwave for a couple of minutes add a little bit of barbecue sauce and they are ready to eat in less than 5 minutes. So please don't let me hear you use time as an excuse to leave eggs out of your diet.

On the other hand if you can't stand the taste of eggs, experiment with ways they can fit into your diet. Try adding herbs and spices or like me a bit of sauce. Another option is to cook them in the microwave and then throw them in the blender with some oats, milk, yogurt, flaxseed oil; natural peanut butter and a scoop of protein powder and you won't even taste them. Damn, I've just created a great meal replacement for you above without even realizing it.

So please next time I'm over at your place, have some eggs ready for me on the table, and make sure that there is a good backup supply in the fridge.

Saturated fat is not "bad fat", and polyunsaturated fat is definitely NOT "good fat".

Your plan has no magic powers other than containing more whole foods than the "just get the calories in, bro!" diet has, and thus may have a few more vitamins and nutrients. People will still put on a lot of fat by doing this.

The whole "clean bulking" thing is kinda silly. Eat whole eggs and meats and you'll get a full complement of good vitamins and minerals. Consume whey protein isolate to keep glutathione levels high (no need for antioxidants from fruit). Eat carbs at the right times and you'll grow muscle and not fat.

I would rather eat yoke vs spending money to add a chemical "choline" ( fat lose) plus keep omga3.(not having to shove a pill down my throat). Yoke contains 80% of vitamin ( that's another pill). We will judge me n a few months. I'm experimenting at the moment

I Used to make fun of my boyfriend for eating so many eggs in the morning...now im addicted and the moment I wake up I think EGGS! I have 1 yolk and five egg whites like most womens diets in the transformation part, I also eat half cup of porridge with soya milk ive noticed theres quite a bit of protein in that and its really creamy and handful of almonds and honey. My boyfriend has got me hooked on weights and nutrtion this is only week 2 for me but ive seen huge results hence becoming hooked.Go forth eat eggs and prosper!

Eggs are a great part of a good breakfast. I remember while in honolulu I ran into this guru who taught me the way of eating on ketosis and eggs were a staple part of that diet. Since then I have been working on staying in ketosis and I am in great shape!
